A celebrity jewellery firm which claims Courtney Love has not returned borrowed jewellery worth more than €83,000 is suing to get them back.

A celebrity jeweller who numbered Madonna, Kanye West and Elton John among his customers is pleading guilty in a deal with US prosecutors over a federal money laundering case.

The jeweller to the stars accused of money-laundering in the US reportedly wants celebrity customers including David Beckham to testify for the defence at his trial.
